Password Manager doesn't prefill with Mozilla IdP

[ozten]

Firefox prompts me to remember password, but on the next visit... it doesn't prefill

Steps to reproduce 1) 123done.org with mozilla.com address 2) Remember password 3) Logout 4) https://login.mozilla.org/signout 5) 123done.org log in 6) This is not me 7) enter mozilla.com email 8) Note: no password pre-filled

Maybe because the data is submitted via AJAX and not a regular <form> submit?

@mostlygeek - I think you are onto something here, I believe the input elements must be inside a form element that is on the page before DOMContentLoaded.

It could be argued that this is a feature and not a bug. :)

I think your kidding, but to be my usual pedantic self...

It doesn't empower users to chose if they want to use a password manager or not.

I fixed this last week in Firefox Nightly. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583578 It's because the username is readonly and we bailed too easily in that case. Adding readonly/disabled with JS after onload could workaround the issue.

I can confirm that this is fixed in Nightly. Thanks, @mnoorenberghe!

Solution discussed in triage is adding a hidden editable text field to fix for all FF and Chrome password managers.

[mnoorenberghe]

Note that this hidden element should be placed directly before the password field rather than before the input type=text or after the input type=password

I'm seeing this fixed in Firefox and Safari. It doesn't appear fixed in Chrome, unless I've got my settings wrong or something.

Filed Issue #118 to track Chrome.
